Scammed by Gazelle! Stay Away!

"Sent Gazelle two different phones for trade-in. To my surprise, they processed the lower-value phone twice, overlooking my pristine-condition trade-in meant for a higher offer price. Despite multiple attempts to clarify, they failed to grasp their error and refused to rectify the situation. Their handling was highly unsatisfactory. Beware when parting with your device to this company."

Beware in sending in multiple devices

"Beware of sending multiple, different devices back. I mailed in 8 Air 2s and 6 Airs for payment. They assigned wrong ID numbers when they came in (so some of my Air2s were assigned with the Air quoted price). Most of the Air2s they said had too many scratches, so they knocked my price down from $52 to $26. Then they attached the $26 line to an Air so the price "increased" and it auto accepted my offer. I could not get back my devices even after calling within 2 hours of getting the email. I was told it was already processed for payment and all sales are final. WILL NEVER USE AGAIN!"

Ridiculous Scammy Offer

"So Gazelle initially offered me $180 for my iPad Air 3 in very good condition which I thought was good. So I sent my device to them. They then emailed me claiming to have found “too many scratches” on it which is totally false and offered me $30!! They baited me with a decent offer and then obviously hoped I would just take it so they could take a tidy profit. Ummm, no I’m not stupid. I only hope they return it undamaged now. "

Horrible! Untrustworthy!

"This company sent me an email offer for my phone. I accepted it and sent the phone in. A week later, they tell me it has a crack and scratches on it which I did not have when I sent it in. Then they offer me $100 less than the initial offer. I accept it just to avoid hassle. But then when the confirmation email comes, it’s even $50 less than the already lower offer. They are a bunch of liars and thieves. Do not do business with this company!!"

Stolen phone

"The phone that I bought was locked because is was stolen or locked because of a delinquent bill. Gazelle knew this before selling it to me. I could not activate it at Verizon. Gazelle is accepting the return, but selling it in the first place is unacceptable. "

Great Experience

"Highly recommend Gazelle for selling electronic equipment. Estimate was quick, they provide shipping box and postage, payout was as estimated and check arrived quickly. What more can you want?"

Do Not Sell Them Your Phone !!

"Had a phone that was put in a case the moment it came out of the box (Otter box defender) It had 1 tiny scratch on the glass and one very tiny scratch on the back. Submitted as flawless but was at least lightly used. they didn't even offer me the lightly used price. dropped my original offer by almost $100. I read many other people with same issue, but figured there was no way they could get me as I knew the condition of my phone. STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS !!!!"

Do not trust gazelle...Bait and switch practices

"Bait and switch...Never use gazelle to sell your used items. Once they receive your item they will offer you less saying your item has too many scratches on it. I sent them a samsung phone in immaculate condition. They offered 90 dollars less than my offer. This is deceptive business practice and they should never be trusted. What a horrible way to conduct your business"

Bait and Swutch

"Bait and Switch

Gazelle is a total fraud! I got an offer for a 4 month old iPad 10th generation, still with AppleCare+. It was for $311, which is basically equal to the selling price on eBay, minus fees. The iPad was immaculate, as it has been kept in a case, its entire life. After holding onto the iPad for over 10 days, I received an offer of $205, claiming that there were “an unacceptable amount of scratches on it. This is Gazelle’s business model— make a decent marketable offer, and then lowball the offer, claiming that the device is damaged. Read all of the reviews of Gazelle, before doing business with them. There is no phone number to discuss the situation; all there is offered is digital communication. Expect the “buy low, sell high” business structure from this unscrupulous company!

Aweful customer service

"I placed an order for a used iPhone on Gazelle. I was informed by email several days later that my account had been flagged as fraudulent, so my order had been cancelled. I called customer service (30 minute wait time) to find out what had flagged my account, he was unable to find specifics, but thought it might have been a wrong address for my cc. He assured me that the order had been reactivated.
3 days later I had not heard from them so sent an email asking them to confirm the status of my order. 18 days later I received an email from them stating they could not reinstate orders. Will not use this company again

Gazelle sold a frozen phone and refused to help

"I had bought from Gazelle before and they were great, but now they seem to have fallen apart. I bought a used phone and it froze, because the preveous owner had not made payments. I spent hours with the support line, and they wouldn't take the phone back. Terrible experience, and a loss of money. Customer serivice is terrible. Very badly run company. "

Worst customer service, not trustworthy and waste of time!

"I tried to sell my ipad air 3rd generation and gave me offer of $204. So, I sent them my device in mint condition no damages or any scratches. Then they inspected my device and gave me $81 due to scratches! I emailed them so many time nobody get back with me none whatsoever. I called the customer service no luck always say will escalate but nobody cares. I asked what part of my device were the scratches the agent said she doesn't know. So, I know there's some mistake because my ipad has no scratches even 1 none. I don't know who's item they inspected i know its not mine. I hope they didn't send me other ipad that has scratches! That's wrong and illegal. I really don't trust this company worst customer services ever."
